The Call Transfer Connector helps Natalia seamlessly transfer calls to human agents when needed. It’s simple to set up and supports flexible phone number mappings based on keywords you define. Everything you configure here becomes part of Natalia’s training sheet (main prompt), allowing her to naturally understand when and how to use these transfers.
Important Notes
- All call transfer settings are automatically added to Natalia’s training.
- Provide clear keywords and descriptions—Natalia understands natural language.
- You do not need to reference the connector name or parameters in your scenario’s training sheet.
- Thoroughly test your transfer flows to ensure customers reach the correct destination.
Configuration in Dashboard
Basic Setup
-
Name and Description
- Give your connector a clear name (e.g., “call-transfer”).
- Provide a detailed description of when and why this connector should be used (e.g., “Transfer to different services if the customer asks for a specific one or to the default human agent”).
-
Phone Number
- Use the international format:
+XXXNUMBER (e.g., +33612345678).
- You can set up multiple transfer destinations, each with its own descriptive keywords.
-
Keywords
- Provide short keywords or phrases that should trigger a transfer.
- Examples (English/French): “Human agent - Support - Jean Dupont - Besoin d’un humain - Transfert urgent”
- Whenever the user’s request matches one of these keywords (or if Natalia decides it’s a question she can’t handle), the call will be transferred to the specified number.
Configuration Steps (Example Workflow)
-
Go to Connectors
Visit https://app.getnatalia.com/connectors/ in your Natalia dashboard and click New Connector.
-
Choose Connector Type
In the Type dropdown, select Transfer.
-
Fill in Transfer Details
- Phone Number: enter the target phone number (e.g.,
+33251435858).
- Description: add keywords (e.g., “Human Agent,” “Jean Dupont,” “Support”) that will trigger this transfer.
-
Save Your Connector
Once saved, if this connector is linked to a scenario, Natalia automatically uses this connector whenever the user explicitly requests a transfer or if the situation requires escalation.
Scenario Examples
-
Customer Service Escalation
- 🇬🇧 English: Transfer to a human whenever the customer is dissatisfied or explicitly asks for a person.
- 🇫🇷 French: Transférer vers un agent humain lorsque le client exprime son insatisfaction ou demande explicitement à parler à quelqu’un.
-
Technical Support Routing
- 🇬🇧 English: Transfer to the support line if the customer says: “I need support” or “This is too technical.”
Note: This requires “Support” as a keyword for that phone number.
- 🇫🇷 French: Transférer à la ligne de support si le client dit : “J’ai besoin d’assistance” ou “C’est trop technique.”
Note : Cela nécessite d’avoir défini “Support” comme mot-clé dans la description de votre connecteur.
All connector details—names, descriptions, and parameters—are automatically incorporated into Natalia’s training and scenario logic. Because of this, you do not need to explicitly mention the connector name or its parameters in your scenario’s training sheet. However, be as detailed as possible when configuring each connector so Natalia knows exactly when and how to use it.
Natural Language Usage
You can specify in your scenario instructions how and when to escalate calls. For example:
-
🇬🇧 English:
- “If the user says they need a human or complains about the support, transfer the call.”
- “Escalate to a human if the customer asks for advanced help or is extremely dissatisfied.”
-
🇫🇷 French:
- “Si l’utilisateur demande un humain ou se plaint du support, transfère l’appel.”
- “Escalader vers un humain si le client demande de l’aide avancée ou est très insatisfait.”
Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions:
-
No Transfer Happening
- Verify that your keywords are properly set in the connector’s Description.
- Check that you’re using the correct international phone format.
-
Incorrect Number
- Confirm the target number is typed correctly (including country code).
- Test calling the number directly to ensure it’s valid.
-
Misfires or Frequent Unneeded Transfers
- Review and adjust your keywords—overly broad or ambiguous keywords can cause unintended transfers.
- Make sure Natalia’s scenario instructions correctly describe when to escalate.
Remember
- All call transfer descriptions (keywords…) automatically become part of Natalia’s training.
- Thoroughly document why and when to transfer calls in your scenario.
- Test your transfers to confirm they reach the right agent or department.
- Reinforce when and how to use transfers in your scenario instructions to avoid unintended transfers.
